DECARBONISATION, FLEXIBILITY AND SECURITY OF THE TERRITORY’S ENERGY SUPPLY

How can the energy network of the territory improve the resilience and efficiency of the urban energy metabolism, contributing to its decarbonation by integrating Renewable Energy and Recovery (RE&R) sources.

David PARRA, Senior researcher and teaching fellow, Université de Genève.

Julien RAMOUSSE Lecturer HDR, Université Savoie Mont Blanc, Polytech’Annecy-Chambery · LOCIE UMR CNRS 5271.

 

ECONOMIC MODELS/PUBLIC POLICY

The development of the innovations necessary for the energy transition depends on the behaviour of the agents (comfort, health, energy bills and the notion of fuel poverty) and the accompanying policies (incentives and regulation).

Elliot ROMANO, Scientific Assistant, Université de Genève.

Aude POMMERET, Professor, Université Savoie Mont Blanc, IREGE Institute for Management and Economics.

 

ACQUISITION, STORAGE, DATA AND INFORMATION PROCESSING

Processing of data relating to energy metabolism in the urban environment for the purpose of a improved collection of available resources and decision support for their exploitation.
